Hi Wojciech,

As this uses the first lower device found that is an ICE netdev, it is a
little unclear to me how this handles the (likely) case of a LAG having
more than one lower device, each of which are ICE netdevs belonging to the
same eswitch. And the perhaps less likely case where it has more than
once lower devices, but they don't all belong to the same ICE eswitch.
